Laura Lippman Book Giveaway (Contest Closed)

I mentioned back on April 19that her publisher has been kind enough to offer me three of Laura Lippman's books as giveaway material here on Book Chase. This is in celebration of the trade paperback release of Lippman's I'd Know You Anywhere.

Well, today's the day. I am ready to take entries for two free copies of the new trade paperback and one copy of Life Sentences. All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment to this post expressing your desire to win one of the books and choosing a number between one and twenty (please take care not to duplicate previously chosen numbers). I will use my handy, dandy random number selector to choose three winners from the entrants. The first and third winners chosen will receive copies of I'd Know You Anywhere and Life Sentences will go to the second randomly selected winner.

I do suspect that many of you are already familiar with Laura Lippman and her well written psychological crime novels, but those of you who are not might want to take a look here to get a feel for what her work is like:

There was your photo, in a magazine. Of course, you are older now. Still, I'd know you anywhere.

Suburban wife and mother Eliza Benedict's peaceful world falls off its axis when a letter arrives from Walter Bowman. In the summer of 1985, when Eliza was fifteen, she was kidnapped by this man and held hostage for almost six weeks. Now he's on death row in Virginia for the rape and murder of his final victim, and Eliza wants nothing to do with him. Walter, however, is unpredictable when ignored—as Eliza knows only too well—and to shelter her children from the nightmare of her past, she'll see him one last time.

But Walter is after something more than forgiveness: He wants Eliza to save his life . . . and he wants her to remember the truth about that long-ago summer and release the terrible secret she's keeping buried inside.

I trust spammers and their products about as much as I trust those of use car salesmen, faith healers, and politicians. Please understand why I am having to ask for "word verification" even for legitimate comments. I feel your pain.
